Once someone lied to Mutawakkil that Imam Ali Naqi (a.s) lived a life of luxury. And that he has collected a lot of wealth and weapons in his house, and was secretly raising an army of his Shias.
Mutawakkil sent a battalion that surrounded the Imam’s house and ordered that all that is there in the house may be taken out. When the soldiers entered the Imam’s house they found a sack, a shirt of coarse wool and some clay utensils. That was all they found there! When this was reported to Mutawakkil he punished the man who has given the false report. Reference :Akhlaq al-A’imma, Morals & Manners of the Holy Imams
